Hey Michael, Sorry for the lack of explanation. We're adding some copy to explain why we require a linked in verification. Basically, it was of the few ways we can check where someone works without sending an email to their work email - hence keeping it 100% anon. We're working on it! -Madison

See, I wanted to review some ex-employers, but I don't put my whole career history on LinkedIn. Here's my explanation of why: http://michaelochurch.wordpress.com/2013/01/02/why-i-wiped-my-linkedin-profile/ http://michaelochurch.wordpress.com/2013/01/02/why-i-wiped-m... I have an ideological issue with LinkedIn. It made some people I like a boatload of money, so I like it on that front, but I also feel like the modern trend of oversharing one's economic relationships is really dangerous, so I prefer to keep my career history semi-private. I'm not ashamed of anything (except one shitball startup where I worked for 3 months and that I don't include on my resume) but I prefer to conserve information in a game (private-sector self-preservation and advancement) that is more adversarial than it is socially acceptable to admit.
